So...I remember on the other forum there was a discussion about how hard it was to get hold of Lucile's (Lady Duff Gordon's) memoirs and how expensive they are if you do.
No more! As of the beginning of April you'll be able to buy them in print or as an e-book (links will go up soon) at a...

I was rummaging through the British Heart Foundation shop in Oban two years ago, and my attention was caught by two dusty green tomes lying at the edge of a shelf, out of place among the Jeffrey Archers and Nora Roberts that normally clog the bookcases of such places. Gold...
Apart from the autobiographies of Lightoller, Violet Jessop and Sir Bertram Hayes, all of which I have, or have read, does anyone know of any other White Star line memoirs in print?

We received "Titanic and Other Ships", Lightoller autobio. as a gift from a friend in England. No dust cover, but in excellent condition. Can anyone give me more info on this. How many were sold, value, etc. Thanks.

- J.G.P. Bisset's trilogy
- Hayes: Hull Down
- Beaumont: Ships and People

Hi everyone,
I wanted to let you know that Lightoller's autobiography is on eBay right now for about $60.00 the item number is 499718816. This is not the hard cover but the paperback. That seems cheap but with Christmas comming I'm afraid it is still too rich for my blood.
